One of the more absurd aspects of our age, which is absolutely filled to the brim with absurdities, is not only the left’s insistence that any man who claims to be woman, and any woman who claims to be a man, must be treated and referred to as such. Even worse is the fact that even allegedly conservative “news” outlets, including some that duly reported on how the transgender madness was a sick fantasy and worse, went right along with alacrity, referring to burly dudes as “she” the moment they stepped out in a skirt. Now, however, President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services has struck a blow for reality and sanity, amid howls from the fantasy-addicted community.
Fox News reported Monday that HHS “has altered the official portrait of a transgender former Biden administration official to display the individual’s birth name, rather than adopted name.” The official portrait in question is of Rachel Levine, who was assistant secretary of health during the dark days of the Biden regime, and was hailed as the first female four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHSCC) despite not actually being a female.
Rachel Levine was originally named Richard Levine. He changed his name in order to reflect his new alleged identity as a woman, or his new identity as an alleged woman. In reality, Levine was a man all along. He was and is a man who has for some time now been playing out in public his fantasy of being a woman, and demanding that everyone play along on pain of charges of “transphobia” and the threat of professional and personal ruin.
Now HHS is no longer playing along. “Up until the government shutdown this year,” Fox reported, “Levine’s portrait plaque in the HHS offices featured the name ‘Rachel Levine,’ but it now displays the official’s birth name, ‘Richard Levine.’” (Throughout its report on this change, Fox carefully avoided using any pronoun at all for Levine. In a story from Jan. 2021, however, Fox dutifully referred to Levine as “she,” as if he had been an actual woman.)
The left was, of course, furious. The gay publication PinkNews headlined its story on this “Trump administration deadnames trans admiral Rachel Levine on official government portrait.” It quoted Adrian Shanker, “former deputy assistant secretary for health policy and who worked with Levine,” asserting that “to officially deadname Levine is an act ‘of bigotry against her.’”
Levine himself tried to give the appearance of taking the high road: “My focus has been and continues to be on public health and health equity. I’m not going to comment on this type of petty action.” And indeed, to some it may indeed seem petty. After all, people change their names all the time, for all sorts of reasons. Ordinarily it’s a matter of simple courtesy to call someone what he or she wants to be called. And Richard Levine insisting on being referred to as Rachel Levine doesn’t make him any more of a woman than he was already. He was a guy named Richard and now he is a somewhat ridiculous guy named Rachel.
However, the name “Rachel Levine” in this case is also a political statement. It is a demand that the sane community acquiesce to the demands of the insane no less unmistakably than all the business about choosing one’s pronouns is.
And that’s how HHS explained its decision to resume referring to Rachel Levine as Richard. HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said: “Our priority is ensuring that the information presented internally and externally by HHS reflects gold standard science. We remain committed to reversing harmful policies enacted by Levine and ensuring that biological reality guides our approach to public health.”
A user of the far-left Twitter/X imitation called Bluesky fumed: “I love that they give some ridiculous excuse about ‘gold standard science’, too. As if names are part of our DNA or something.” This seems to be another one of the left’s deliberate exercises in missing the point. Names are indeed changeable and not part of our DNA, but biological sex is actually part of our DNA, and to pretend that Richard Levine is a woman is an exercise in politicized delusion, not in the recognition of biological reality.
Accordingly, HHS has taken a heroic stance in an age in which the minds of millions of people are still clouded with the transgender nonsense. May there be many more steps toward sanity before this administration is through.
What a ghastly specter of Biblical end time prophesies the illegitimate installed by coup d’etat of stolen 2020 election the brain dead corrupt Joe Briben administration was! 100% vile satanic pekkerhead honiacs of the rue morgue! What damage they did and how dumb are people to go along with the trans satanic bullshit.
The worst of the worst reprobates!
Bet Ricky was still hanging. Now that he’s unemployed and has more time, perhaps visits…many….to a psychiatrist would be beneficial. Also, keep this oddity away from children. He might claim he gave birth to one of them and screw the kid up.
Well, Richy is man, is he not? Let the left fly off in to one of their weekly rages. No one gives a crap any more
Let’s get “ Dr.Jill” make the proper inspection to verify. After all Whoopie-poopie stated she was an excellent doctor so let’s defer to her expertise. Plus she might enjoy it if Rick gets a rise. Bet she hasn’t seen one from Joe in ages,
Who expects any better from FOX – I think of the immortal nonsense of Senator Schumah when he spoke of something being “less bad”. FOX is simply less bad than the rest of them.
You should have mentioned the heroic efforts of BREITBART to pretend than a woman can be a man if she says so and the converse.
In fact, there were posts moderated out of existence when they were scared of their advertisers if someone mis-pronouned someone.
Thankfully this is no longer the case, I do not think they are moderating these posts out of existence but you will see stories where they still call men women, blah blah blah.
No question – FRONT PAGE is the most sensible news site of them all – I should have said they and JUSTTHENEWS.COM.
The great irony with all of the kooky fake jews in the news business the best news outlets are ostensibly great Jewish organizations.
Life on Earth …
Maybe Levine can sue. If the case makes it to the Supreme Court, how will anyone prove Levine is a woman, since they can’t define what a woman is?
During her 2022 Supreme Court confirmation hearing, Ketanji Brown Jackson was asked by Senator Marsha Blackburn to provide a definition for the word “woman”.
Jackson responded by saying, “I can’t… Not in this context. I’m not a biologist”.
One can only hope he gets Brown as a judge in his case.
LONDON — Britain’s Supreme Court has ruled that the legal definition of a woman is someone born biologically female..
Well if they can’t define a woman, why would it matter whether or not they are called one?
Leftists Spoiled Brats their not getting their way so Cry me a River wee ones
It’s an insane modern-day delusion to accept that one can be whatever they self-identify with. It makes no more sense than if I were to claim that I’m a pencil sharpener.
Well, that thing is a MALE – that is biological, scientific fact. It is not, however, a MAN. Manhood demands certain principles and conduct. This thing is a mentally disordered cretin.
A guy in a dress who fathered two kids is a guy in a dress with two kids, not a woman. Even leftist twits should be able to figure that out.
Based on observations over the last decade, it seems the more democrat left wing you are and the more educated you are, the less likely you are able to figure it out.
I was going to say that finally we are stopping calling a dude, a woman…whatever that it? Up to now we have been calling a “Neutered” ……a “Spayed”. This has now been corrected. It didn’t take the operation to prevent HIM from being a “birthing person”. Biology did that. It IS nice to finally say that this ugly naked Admiral Emperor has no clothes and does have a penis.
At least Rachel is one hot cookie. Barf!
I consider calling someone a man a badge of honor. Levine does not deserve to be called a man. Rudyard Kipling thought that as well. Here is a poem he wrote.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
